What's included in Australia’s Great Ocean Road Self-Guided Driving Audio Tour
(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Apollo Bay
It’s a compact but full-service town and very popular as a place to make an overnight stay if trying to complete the Great Ocean Road in 2 days. Hopefully we’ve allowed ourselves more time than that, but if not, I’m sure we are getting to see all the best parts.
Bells Beach
The most famous surf break in all of Australia – Bells Beach. Now, what the conditions and the ocean swell is like today will likely effect what our impression of Bells is. If the swell is only small, it might barely be breaking at all, and there may be no surfers out in the water
Cape Otway Lightstation
This is one of the must-do places on our Great Ocean Road drive, and remember how I was saying it was the most important lighthouse in Australia. After we turn it will take us about 15 minutes to reach Lighthouse arrival centre but we should even take a little more time, go slowly and try spotting koalas as we drive along.
